CHAPTER 1

[SENSITIVE TOPIC AHEAD]
[TRIGGER WARNING]

Hana woke up from her sleep and looked around to see she fell asleep on her desk. She she must have been exhausted to fall asleep while studying. Fortunately for her, she finished her homework before she dozed off.

She stretched a little, feeling her back and neck ache from the position she was in for hours.

Hana stood and walked towards her window, she peeked through the curtains and it was dark outside. She put her things back to her backpack so she won't have to trouble herself in case she would sleep through her alarm when she goes back to bed.

Yawning, Hana crawled to her soft bed. Glancing towards the clock on her nightstand, it reads 2:48 in the morning. She still has a few hours to get some proper sleep. And as soon as her head hits the pillow, she drifted back to dreamland.

People are watching me. They have their eyes on me. They're laughing. They're amused. Why am I here in the center.. alone? Where are you guys?

"B*tch, you're better off dead!"

Who said that?

"Why are you trying so hard? Didn't get enough attention?"

What? I'm not trying to get attention.

"Just kill yourself already."

Why would you wish that?

"Will you stop being such a wh*r*?"

Hana called someone's name but that person couldn't seem to hear her. She then woke up, it was just a dream. Her alarm beside her is blasting and it's giving her more headache. She's too exhausted. She must be stressed out from school as she doesn't want her grades to drop.

Hana started getting ready for school when she had a call, it was Eunji.

"Good morning, I already know how to use the subway so you won't have to worry. Also, I'm going to try going home today alone. I'll call if I happen to exit to hell."

"Mm, sure."

"What was that?" Eunji caught, "Are you sick?"

"No, I'm just tired."

"This is why I don't want you to push yourself too much!"

"I'm fine."

"Don't come to school today. Rest. I'll visit after, okay?"

Before she could protest, Eunji already hangs up on her.

"I'm never skipping school," she mumbled to herself.

Hana was sipping on her protein shake after taking vitamins to keep her going on her way to school. She knew she'd get an earful from Eunji but the effort of preparing the homework to turn in that day couldn't keep her still. She needs to at least hand it over before having a rest at the school clinic.

And as soon as she entered the classroom, being late, all eyes were on her taking her back to her dream.

When Eunji's eyes landed on the person who just arrived, she let out a loud gasp and started running towards a pale Hana.

"What are you doing coming to school? Look at you!"

If it wasn't for Eunji's outburst, she wouldn't be brought back to reality. She blinked when she realizes what happened.
